F-Rank Physique, But I Pilot Mechs [Interstellar]

[Smartest Member of the Heroine's Team] [Mecha League + Holographic Game + Fighting the Zerg in the Later Story] [Check out my upcoming novels, "He Fell from Immortality After I Died" and "Getting Closer to Science on a Galactic Livestream." Blurbs at the bottom~] Blurb: Tao Ying was a genius of the Reval Empire. At fifteen, she entered Leimen University with the highest scores across every subject. At twenty, she became chief researcher at the Leimen Mecha Research Institute. At twenty-seven, she died in a fire that left no survivors. Someone took the opportunity to pin the blame on her. Someone erased her achievements. Someone stole her research. Someone mourned her with tears, all fake and insincere. Yet everyone said she got what she deserved. At the end of the public outcry, people lamented how devoted Tao Ying's fiancé had been to her. But no one knew that the man who locked her in the burning building that day was this very devoted fiancé. "Xiaoying, the Empire will give you a proper burial," he said. Tao Ying had done nothing wrong. She didn't want to die, and she shouldn't have had to. She would take back what had always belonged to her. Ten years later, on the Planet of Rockers, far away in the Fourth Star System, a student from the slums suddenly opened her eyes. · Recently, a story has been making waves on the StarNet: a transport ship traveling between the Fourth and Third Star Systems was attacked by space pirates. At the critical moment, a mysterious passenger took on three pirates at once and beat the ruthless bandits to a pulp. And the mech she piloted was an obsolete model from ten years ago! [Old mech models from Engineer Bai are insanely demanding to pilot. Doesn't that mean this person's mental power must be at least S-rank?] [Heard they're a new student this year, too... After all these years, looks like the stars are finally getting another pilot with dual S+ mental power and physical aptitude.] [Holy crap, a new student is already this good? What's going on? OP, tell us more!!] [More details, please!] [+1] Just as netizens were concluding that this new student's physical aptitude had to be S-rank, Tao Ying stood in front of Leimen University Weakly leaning against the wall.jpg Sorry, her physical aptitude was F. Just climbing into the cockpit had nearly killed her. Piloting a mech? No way. She'd never do that again in this lifetime. Tao Ying pulled her luggage along, thinking that surely nothing else would go wrong with her enrollment. The next second, a notice popped up on her handheld device [Welcome to Leimen University's Mecha Piloting program.] Oh, look at this new student welcome message. It's exactly the same as it was back then. How nostalgic... ... Tao Ying's expression stiffened. Wait, what major? Say that again. What major is she supposed to study? *Slow-burn, with a hint of ensemble cast. Plot-driven. *The CP is the considerate puppy. Don't mix him up with anyone else. *Probably a story about a sickly programmer forced to pilot a mech, who accidentally becomes the best in the industry (. Upcoming novel: "Getting Closer to Science on a Galactic Livestream" Blurb: Lu Yi, a rookie space cop full of passion, was laid off one day. With a friend's introduction, she switched careers and became an investigative reporter who livestreamed her work. Hey, Lu Yi clapped her hands. Investigative reporter? That's practically a perfect fit for someone trained as a space cop. Finding the truth would be a piece of cake! "Science Spark" is a science show on Galactic TV6, dedicated to investigating mysterious and supernatural events. Kids love it, and grown-ups are loyal viewers too. Great, great, a bright future lies ahead. Former space cop Lu Yi picked up the program rundown. Why does the neighbor's smart dog howl in the middle of the night?, Because it has a virus program installed. Can the witch really predict the future?, It's big data. The StarNet keeps receiving unknown signals, possibly messages from an alien species?, An employee in the next building is freeloading on the network to download some sketchy movies. Archaeologists discovered spicy strips with a production date 100 years in the future?, The manufacturer printed the wrong date. Science Spark, every night at 7:30, helping you break free from superstition Lu Yi put down the rundown. Maybe she should find another job. For the sake of ratings, Lu Yi was forced to run around various investigation sites dressed in a space-cop cosplay outfit. Only, the show's tone started to feel a little off. Apartment 6, Building 42, in the immigrant district: The former tenant left more than trash in the fridge. There was also a corpse, frozen purple. The locked-room murder at the Chenqi Hotel: Why did the killer arrange the body in the shape of a constellation? After a single voyage, the entire crew of the Yuan Ying starship mysteriously vanished. The livestream was a huge hit, and the ratings kept climbing. Lu Yi clenched her fist. Great! She's reached the pinnacle of life. · One day, a case dredged up a murder from Lu Yi's past A passing black-market merchant: "Lu Yi, you've killed someone?" Lu Yi replied expressionlessly, "Self-defense. Got a problem with that?" "No. I like you even more now." "Heh." *The heroine is a former space cop, a stubborn, hot-blooded dummy. *The hero is a masked black-market merchant, an outlaw beyond the law. He's gorgeous without the mask: fair skin, stunning looks, and long legs, hehe (. Upcoming novel: "He Fell from Immortality After I Died" Blurb: They say the Regretless Sword may be named Regretless, but every one of its former masters had something they deeply regretted, something that haunted them for half their lives. Lu Zhenzhen refused to believe it. One day, she saved a musician: gentle and refined, bright as the moon, with a mastery of the qin that made people's hearts flutter. "If you don't pursue him, you'll regret it for the rest of your life!" Lu Zhenzhen slapped her forehead and sneaked into the Feixing Tower, doing all sorts of foolish things to win the musician's heart. Sadly, the musician was devoted to cultivation and sought only to ascend. He didn't cultivate the Heartless Dao, but he might as well have. Lu Zhenzhen thought, then I'll let it go. Several hundred years later, she died. And that musician who had ascended... suddenly fell from immortality. Theme: Life blossoming in adversity.
